integral of 1/x+1/(x^2+1)

\int \frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{x ^{2} + 1} d x

ln ∣ x ∣ + arctan (x) + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{x ^{2} + 1} d x

Apply the Sum Rule:

\int f (x) \pm g (x) d x = \int f (x) d x \pm \int g (x) d x

= \int \frac{1}{x} d x + \int \frac{1}{x ^{2} + 1} d x

\int \frac{1}{x} d x = ln ∣ x ∣

\int \frac{1}{x ^{2} + 1} d x = arctan (x)

= ln ∣ x ∣ + arctan (x)

Add a constant to the solution

= ln ∣ x ∣ + arctan (x) + C
